We welcome you back to the second half of Where Is My Mind? with Man Man’s Honus Honus.
TD: How has the Philly music scene changed since you became involved with it?
HH: More of on a national level. It’s great. People know good (and strange) music comes from the city. I’m proud of how much Philly’s scene has grown and grown to be appreciated.
TD: What is your favorite Philly band right now?
TD: You guys have a lot of antics on stage, but what about puking on stage? Is that totally rock star, or just gross?
HH: I vomit on the stage quite often. But then I have to swallow it and keep singing. I’d say that it’s pretty gross. Totally "Rock Star" would be drowning in your own vomit in a hotel. I’ve yet to experience that, but I won’t rule it out.
TD: When we chatted briefly earlier, you spoke of an album that you had recorded with Nick Thornburn (Islands, The Unicorns) and its intriguing Doom Wop classification. When can we expect that and will there be any touring in support?
HH: Have low expectations and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Nick and I split up main vocal duties and my buddy Joe (Modest Mouse/Shins/Blackheart) handles the drums. We’ll play some shows here and there whenever our 3 schedules will allow. Keep your ears peeled. We’re looking to record the album this winter and get it out there sometime next year. If you can imagine a collision of Nick and my own songwriting styles packed into 3 minutes and under per song, then you’ll get an idea for the sound of the band. Next year is gonna be busy for sure.
TD: What is your favorite historical mustache?
HH: Linda Lovelace.
TD: Are robots the future or the end?
HH: Cannot compute.
TD: If you could invent an instrument, what would it look/sound like, and what would it be named?
HH: Adam Gould. I’d string it up and beat it like a balloon.
TD: What sandwich do you order at the deli?
HH: Knuckle.
